Most sideboards are a neutral. This one is not, and that is the point: a muted green cabinet against a white wall does the work a picture would, while still holding the plates. Fifty-five inches across, with panelled doors and a realistic wood grain over the carcass, adjustable shelves behind each door, and enough reinforcement at the base that a loaded cabinet does not creak when you close it.
Colour reads differently against warm white, cool white and a paint colour. Stand a green object roughly that size where the cabinet will go for a day before you decide.
A statement cabinet crowded by chairs and plants stops being a statement. Leave a foot at each end if the wall allows it.
Kitchenware low, table linen and serving pieces high. The colour is decoration; the shelves are why it earns the wall.
Painted finishes chip at corners more readily than laminated wood grain. Take the corners off the packaging carefully during assembly — that is where the damage almost always happens.
Pieces from other collections in the same finish family — the pairings people order together.
A queen velvet bed with a three-tilt ergonomic headboard, hidden headboard storage and exactly five inches of under-bed clearance.
A 55-inch white tower with eight drawers — six for clothes, two small ones at the top sized for watches, ties and jewellery.
An L-shaped farmhouse desk with four drawers, a hidden under-desk shelf and a charging strip built into the top — a home office that does not look like office furniture.
A 63-inch fluted sideboard in oak: four doors, six compartments, adjustable shelves, and a top long enough to serve from.
